Seems a bit hypocritical for the banks to divulge this information since they directly benefited from the Cayman Islands lenient tax codes and secrecy laws. I'm betting a lot of companies of individuals would not have put their money in a Cayman Islands bank if their knew such information would be divulged.

I'm not talking about the depositors and whether what they're doing was right or wrong (as that is an entirely different issue). I'm strictly talking about the banks' actions.

There is an increasing perception (probably because it is true) in society that the rich play by their own rules and the rest is left to fend for themselves.

Make no mistake, I fully support and admire wealthy folks, particularly people who worked hard, developed an idea, and became rich through their effort and labor. Even people who inherit money have nothing to be ashamed of. What is infuriating, however, are all of these illegal loopholes and practices that result in unfair taxation, protection from ordinary due process, etc. We need to tackle all of these inequalities in order to save the republic.

So, in a nutshell, they are gaming the system to hoard tax free money, all the while reducing pay and benefits to the American worker. Because...according to them "We can't afford to pay you a good wage or medical" they are sooooo broke. Um..ya. Way to fark the worker while lining your own pocket.
